Jarrett was a second-round pick in 2011 out of Temple by the Eagles. He was an occasional starter in two years in Philly and then played a more prominent role in his first two seasons with his hometown Jets.

The 6-foot, 195-pound free safety was out of football last year and has not played since the Jets waived him in October of 2015.

It’s clear the Texans are still looking for more options at safety. Trying out Jarrett and Williams should be seen as a sign the team just isn’t sold on the likes of Corey Moore, Andre Hal, K.J. Dillon, Lonnie Ballentine, or even Kareem Jackson making a potential position switch from cornerback.
